Cómo ganar enemigos

Lucas, a modest, young Jewish lawyer with a penchant for detective stories, meets the beautiful Barbara in a café. Sexy, independent, and with good taste in literature, she seems perfect, and Lucas, enthralled, takes her home after their first date. Things aren't always what they seem, however, and Lucas wakes up to find his financial savings, and Barbara, gone. Determined to find her, Lucas sets off like the hero in one of his beloved books, and, as he pieces together the puzzle of the grand theft, realizes that his closest allies may be his biggest foes.
